If Amsterdam isn’t already on your bucket list, you’re making a huge mistake. This European city is often ranked behind cities like Paris and Rome, but it possesses an amount of uniqueness like no other. It is home to over 150 canals (yes, more than Venice), the only floating flower market, crooked homes that date back to the 17th century, coffee-shops that don’t sell coffee, and the most diverse groups of locals in the world. This doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. It might be difficult to know where to start when visiting a city that has so much to offer. So, Here are five things you must do during your first visit to Amsterdam: Explore by bike There is something you’ll notice as soon as you arrive into Amsterdam – bikes, bikes, and more bikes! Amsterdam is known to be the bicycle capital of the world. Even in a city with a population over 1 million, there are more bikes than there are people. With such narrow streets and limited parking options, this is one of the best methods of transportation for tourists. In a city where bikes rule the road, there is no better way to explore […]

We made it to Berlin! Rocking up to this city, I really didn’t know what to expect. I had ideas in my head of its turbulent history, and terrible political past. How have the people been affected by the darker parts of the city’s story? After visiting, I realised it wasn’t at all what I expected. Here you’ve got Berliners, a free and liberated generation that make up one of the coolest, creative and eccentric cities in Europe. My first day was spent getting out and enjoying the sun on what felt like a miracle of an 18ºC day. I heard it’s a thing for Berliners to laze around on the grass in parks whenever the sun comes out, so I thought when in Rome (well, Berlin), I’d better check it out. Mauerpark flea market was a friend’s recommendation, and I’m so glad I had a free Sunday to browse. Just a short walk over to the park from the recommended Busabout hostel, I followed the music and found hundreds of people perched on a hill enjoying the sun. It was a lively sight with bundles of stalls, vintage pieces, trinkets, art displays and every kind of hippy, punk, earthy, […]

I don’t claim to be any kind of expert on Italy. But having spent a lot of time in Venice this season, I did manage to start to explore some of the smaller (and non-touristy!) towns that are a mere 30 minute train ride away. There are so many lovely towns all over Italy, but one of the best days I’ve had in my entire life was spent in a little town called Treviso. Canals in Treviso #europe #travel #italy #treviso #busabout #busaboutcrew @busabouteurope A post shared by Kimberly Simpson (@busaboutkim) on Aug 16, 2016 at 10:05am PDT As soon as I read about it online – and found only two useful blog posts – I knew I had to go there. If even mighty Google couldn’t turn up more than a few pages of information, it was exactly the kind of off-the-tourist-radar day trip that I needed. The fact that prosecco (Italy’s answer to champagne), and tiramisu (that famous layered coffee and mascarpone cream dessert) both hail from here was just a bonus. Ok, it may have actually been the deciding factor, but you don’t get to judge me. Treviso is at heart a quiet, wealthy Italian town with well-kept […]

Daydreaming about a new adventure, but worried about the cost? Trying to budget for your European travels can be pretty daunting, and the expenses can add up if you don’t do your research and end up following the crowds. Here are 5 hot European destinations that you can explore on a budget with a few simple tips. Make good choices! Krakow This fairytale city is a must-see for anybody wanting to get off the beaten trail and have an authentic central-European experience. With delicious traditional food, stunning architecture, and a deep history to delve into, you’ll always wish you had just one more day. Food and drinks in Krakow are downright cheap, so make the most of it and dine like a king. As with most places in Europe the further you wander from the main town square, the lower the bill will be; so enjoy a stroll away from the tourist hotspots to find yourself a meal. Gospoda Koko is a local favourite, where you can get an appetiser, main course, side dish, and a drink for the equivalent of just €7. If you don’t mind the lack of table service, it’s a perfect choice to experience the local […]

Food frames travelling, marketing each point set to rest, perceive and nourish. From the moment we taste something new, to the time we arrive home and tell everyone they “…have to try this!” We’ve kicked off on a food journey, and there’s no better place to try new food than Vietnam. One of the best things about Vietnam is the incredible street food; however a common anxiety is the fear of food poisoning. It’s a common misconception that street food will be sole cause for an upset tummy, resulting in discomfort and annoyance that can interrupt and ruin a day’s sightseeing. However, street food is the safest bet for fresh cuisine. A good rule of thumb is to follow where the locals eat. A dingy little food cart that serves noodles from a communal pot but is overflowing with customers and bustling with noise, is much more trustworthy than an expensive make shift Western restaurant in the main tourist district! Street food is so indicative of local delicacies, how foods are traditionally cooked and cheap-cheap in price! It’s a no-brainer you’ll have your best food experiences for $2 from a little cart on the side of a market street. If …

If I’m being honest, this wasn’t an easy list to make. Finding the best burgers in Santiago took a lot of research, a lot of commitment and a lot of belt loosening. But who am I kidding… I enjoyed every minute and every bite… Lucky for me burgers are all the rage in Santiago right now. And yes, I’ve realized that Chileans are a few years late

Prague! Here we are in one of my favourite cities in the world. On my first visit here, I was astounded by the architectural magic of this city. A town of structures that inspired Walt Disney himself, coming back here was a real treat. This place is one of the most well preserved cities in Europe, with a maze of cobblestone streets and hundreds of spires that pierce the sky; you have the perfect excuse to get lost in the streets. Mind you, I am very good at getting lost anyway, but if you’re gonna lose your bearings this is the best place to do it. On our first night after arriving from Berlin, we checked into my favourite hostel so far. Plus Hostel! They had excellent service, a super spacious private en-suite room and a ridiculous range of facilities. There was a gym, sauna, pool, vending machines, pool table, performance space, art gallery, restaurant and bar with live music. I could get used to this. As truly thrilling as it is to be on the road travelling from place to place, it can get exhausting with a jam packed itinerary. So this was the perfect place to take advantage […]

It’s no secret that the south of Italy is a spectacular place to travel, with an ideal combination of sun, delicious food, cool activities, and spectacular sights. But just in case you weren’t 100% sold on coming down to see Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi Coast with us, here are a few reasons to convince you that the Italian Adventure is an essential part of your Eurotrip. The Food There is so much epic food on this trip that it’s hard to pick just a few. How do a 4-course Italian dinner, life changing sandwich, spices to take home and the best fruit of your life sound? Here are a few highlights: Caprese Salad Buffalo mozzarella is a specialty of the Campania region, and the tomatoes are extra delicious too, thanks to the volcanic soil of Mt Vesuvius. This salad is genius in its simplicity!

We arrived in Amsterdam, the city of lust, bridges, canals, and even more bikes. This place has quite the reputation; if you’re anything like me, when you think of The Netherlands it’s an odd mixture of images that spring to mind. On one hand its taboo tourist attractions with X-rated themes, along with some very “relaxed” and progressive attitudes. On the other, it’s green grass, beautiful brick architecture, and a whole lotta delicious cheese. Over the last few days we’ve scouted out the cool spots and tourist attractions this eclectic city is famous for. Hopping off the coach from Bruges, I eagerly checked into the infamous ‘Worst Hotel in the World’, the Hans Brinker hostel. This party hostel has a very unique way of marketing themselves, claiming to have terrible service and unsanitary living spaces, with guests leaving looking worse than when they arrived. But that wasn’t the case at all; it wasn’t flash, but it definitely wasn’t a bad hostel by any means. In fact they ticked all the boxes for decent facilities! It seems they’ve gone with the whole “under-promise, over-deliver” idea, so that guests are pleasantly surprised. Strange? Yes. But hey, it worked. A post shared by […]

On October 25, 2011, a devastating storm wreaked havoc on Italy’s Cinque Terre region. Vernazza, one of the five picturesque towns, was flooded and landslides buried it in more than 4 metres of mud and debris. In the week after the storm, Ruth co-founded Save Vernazza in hopes of restoring her adopted home to its former splendour once more. We sat down for a chat with her to find out more about what’s behind this exciting voluntourism project. The project started out as Save Vernazza after the 2011 floods. How has it evolved over the years? What began as a restoration effort has now become one of conservation. We partnered with Busabout and TreadRight to create the Turisti Nei Cian (Tourists In The Wild) Voluntourism Project. So far 1032 travellers have joined 121 excursions to help 20 landowners restore Vernazza’s beautiful, fragile territory since 2013. Vernazza’s town centre has been rebuilt following the emergency but Vernazza’s fragile territory continues to need help. Maintaining the territory is critical to avoid further erosion, prevent additional landslides and also to preserve a way of life that is centuries old.
